New York’s chicest boutique, Opening Ceremony, is feting its tenth anniversary by releasing a clothing collection sourced from one of the founders’ favorite countries: South Korea. Humberto Leon and Carol Lim (above) share the things from Seoul they wish they could find in Manhattan, their current hometown.

The garment Hand-­crocheted sweaters: “At Dongdaemun Market, the world’s best night market, everything is $5 to $30, from music to clothes. These incredible sweaters seem meant for cute grannies, but they’re cool and minimal, with beautiful leaf patterns [Seoul-si Jongno-gu Jongno-6 ga 289-3].”

The art Porcelain and ­calligraphy: “The Leeum Samsung Museum of Art has Korean porcelain and calligraphy that give a glimpse into the city’s ­history. Some porcelain works look so modern they could be from today . . . even though they’re actually medieval [82-2-2014-6900].”

The tech Photo/sticker booths: “These are like Instagram times 100. The cameras make your eyes bigger and your skin glow. Try it at You & I Digital Photo Sticker Shop [1F, 1308-13 Seocho-gu, Seocho-dong].”

The band Big Bang: “They’re a fun and eclectic Korean pop group. “Bad Boy,” a pop-y hip-hop song, is our favorite. They have great personal style, too.”

The spa Spa Lei: “Korean spa culture is beautiful—you go with family, wash the dirt off your bodies, get scrubbed, and lie peacefully. The therapists here are very experienced [82-2-545-4113; body scrubs from $45].”

The late-night bite ­Tteokbokki: “Rice cakes cooked with fish or beef, vegetables, and hot pepper paste. Try it at the packed Sindang-dong Tteokbokki Town [Exit 8, Sindang Station Subway Line 2 or 6].”

The game Screen golf: “You’re recorded and watch yourself on-screen—it’s funny, and Design Screen Golf is the place to do it [150 Yeomni-dong, Mapo-gu].”
